So yeah… maybe the turtle slowly waking up that he was just a Laptog for reddit and thrown away as soon as they didnt need him anymore ( moderation is allways a volunteer thing and shouldnt be like a 2nd job ).

Bad mods weren’t the only thing contributing to the downfall of Reddit. Infact, Id argue most moderators of Reddit were genuinely good and helped foster each subreddit community in a reasonable manner. As with all things that involve humans, there will always be bad actors, but I think overall I had maybe 2 instances I can remember in all my 14 years of Reddit where a bad moderator removed content because they didnt agree with it.
Look at www.reddit.com/r/communism for a prime example of bad mods. It has waaaay more subscribers but almost no comments because nobody can say anything without being banned.
Compare it to the tankies on lemmy and you will see that the threads on gen zedong all have comments despite the whole website having less active members than that subreddit.
